PORK BELLY BACON BOURBON BAKED BEANS

The title can be a mouth full but the result was better then expected. Try saying it 3 times fast lol.

The local bacon and the pork belly really gave the dish the balance. Rather then just beans in a sauce. The bourbon flavour was subtle and everything worked together. This recipe definitely entered the clean plate club. Enjoy!

pignolata

Pignolata, a southern Italian (Calabrese) desert. Usually made around the holidays. We have fond memories of Nonna making these delicious fried dough balls smothered in honey. Such a treat at Christmas to have. The smells were enchanting in her kitchen. We have recently added this old world recipe to our traditional line of baking and it has now become a staple in our household. We hope you enjoy as much as we have.

Man o’war cocktail

A great holiday cocktail. After starring at the liquor cabinet wondering what to make with the odd assortment of booze this one came to mind. A nice touch on a cold winters day. Cheers!

We cannot take credit for the creation of this recipe. However we can say its absolutely delicious. We can also say that we used as much local ingredients as possible including our own J & A Farms grown dried Basil and parsley. Our own homemade tomato sauce with our own grown tomatoes mixed with the canned marzano tomatoes. The cornmeal, kosher salt and other ingredients purchased at the locally owned store in town. Give it a try and help support local. Enjoy!

deconstructed egg salad sandwhich

Sometimes inspiration can come from anywhere. In this instant I was looking at the end of the bread we baked and thought what to do with it. Dry it for bread crumbs? Cube it for croutons? or as it came to be slice it up to make small pieces perfect for dipping. Mix our fresh farm egg salad and voila! the Deconstructed egg salad sandwich was born.
